With the Leyland Live music festival just one month away, businesses are starting to sign up and support the popular event.

Two nights of performances from local bands and musicians are planned for the weekend of 5th & 6th of July and organiser Nigel Stewart says this time, more than 20 venues have come forward for the occasion.

“There will a wide variety of music like last time, such as rock, country, folk, pop, acoustic and jazz, and this year we’re also introducing poetry, drama and dance.”

I was out and about around Leyland last night and visited a few of the pubs that had the live music on, I was not asked to show any wristband or asked for any money at any of said venues ! I know people who are miffed because they forked out a fiver for a 2 night wristband ! The same will apply tonight no doubt, watch this space !
